ZERØBPM ADE 2026

This ADE, ZERØBPM returns to De Thomaskerk across three days. For one week the city runs at full speed. This is the one destination goes in the opposite direction. Here, 32 artists from the techno scene strip their sound back to its slowest form. No beats, no build, nothing pulling you forward. Three Masters Of Meditation hold the space from early morning until night, meditating without pause. The room asks nothing of you: no phones, no substances, no talking, no dancing. Just presence.

Three days, three worlds. Friday descends into the Deep Sea. Saturday opens up to the Cosmos. Sunday returns to Mother Earth. Each day carries its own sound, its own light and its own way of listening, shaped by scenography from Vincent Rang around a single form: the circle.

De Thomaskerk stands as a serene haven where architecture and spirituality converge. Designed by Karel Sijmons, its brutalist form embraces simplicity, allowing natural light to sculpt the interior’s contemplative atmosphere.

Within this minimalist light sanctuary, each element—from the play of shadows to the textured materials—guides the observer toward inner stillness and spiritual introspection.
